The 10 Best Doormats For Sand

• Also available on Home Depot, $20

You can’t go wrong with the Clean Machine doormat, which can trap up to 1 pound of sand or dirt per week, so your indoor floors stay spic and span. The mat is engineered with grass-like AstroTurf blades that grab and store sand beneath the surface until you’re ready to shake the mat or hose it off. Designed for all kinds of weather, it’s fade-, mold-, and mildew-resistant, and — according to reviewers — has a thick rubber backing that won’t budge. It comes in four different sizes, too.

A reviewer wrote: “I live near the beach so of course sand it everywhere. I put one of these at the bottom of my outside stairs. Within a couple weeks I was amazed at how much sand I dumped out! I was worried it would blow away since we get some pretty serious winds, but so far it hasn't moved. Also my black labs walk right over them...doesn't bother their feet at all.”

Gorilla Grip is known for its long-lasting durability, and this Dirt Defender mat delivers with its 100% natural rubber border and tightly woven polypropylene fabric. That said, it’s also designed to remain soft, flexible, and thin despite the fact that it traps dirt and sand in its patterned grooves. It also dries quickly and comes in a huge selection of colors and styles, including nautical, seasonal, geometric, and plain.

A reviewer wrote: "This door mat is very attractive with its beach design, especially since we live so close to the Gulf of Mexico. It has been very easy to clean either with a quick shake outside or with a vacuum. It also traps a lot of dirt and sand coming in from the outside.”

Available at a wallet-friendly piece, this set of two doormats offers an amazing bang-for-your-buck value — and they’ve earned a 4.5-star overall rating after more than 24,000 reviews. These heavy-duty rugs use grooved polyester surfaces to scrape and store various debris, and since they're also highly absorbent, you won't have to worry about water leaking onto your floor. These mats can be easily cleaned by shaking them off or watering them down with a hose. Similar to other rugs mentioned on this list, these have rubber backings that help keep them in place.

A reviewer wrote: "Ive only had this 2 pack a week or so, but so far, its just what I was looking for at my entryways, to grab the sand and water. They also stay in place and don't slide all over the house, good material and not bad for the price either.”

A simple and affordable option that gets the job done, this doormat features high-pile coconut coir fibers that trap sand and dirt like a champ. The durable fibers also absorb water, and the heavy-duty, nonslip backing keeps the rug firmly in place. When the weather-proof mat has seen its fair of dust and dirt, you can shake it out and rinse it with a hose.

A reviewer wrote: “I had to find a workable solution to my husband walking in dirt, leaves, and junk from our back porch to our carpets indoors. This mat works! It tremendously cut down on the amount of junk on my carpets by our back door. It is clean and looks nice as well.”

This nonskid doormat by Refetone meets perfectly at the intersection of functionality and style. It's made with polypropylene fabric that helps trap debris and absorb wetness, all while looking chic. Plus, since the mat features a shallow depth and reinforced edges, it won't get caught underneath your door while its opening and closing (depending on the height of your door, of course). Not only is this mat useful and pleasing to the eye, but it's also extremely simple to wash. If you want to freshen it up, you can use a vacuum or broom to pull the debris off. For an intense cleaning, you can throw it into the washing machine.

A reviewer wrote: "I have purchased a number of these for entry doors. Thin enough to use under entry doors to prevent tracking dirt. Also used by patio doors. Works well on both carpeted and hardwood floors. High quality and durable. Stands up to machine wash and dry. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

A reviewer wrote: “Such a cute rug to have at my entry door! It has a rougher surface to get dirt off shoes as people walk into the house. Love the colors too!”

This versatile doormat combines the best of both worlds: It’s engineered with a combination of artificial grass to trap sand and dirt and highly absorbent microfiber to absorb water before you walk in the door. The nonslip rubber backing keeps it securely in place, and for cleaning, you can shake the sand loose and then spray it down with a hose — the whole thing dries incredibly quickly.

A reviewer wrote: “We love this door mat! We live in a part of our county called ‘the sand hills.’ You track in enough sand when it is dry! But when it rains, this door mat shines! No more wet, damp sand tracked on your nice clean floor! Easy to clean, run a hose over it, dries fast!

This sweet and homey doormat has an ultra-friendly welcome message and uses a thick layer of coconut coir to collect dirt and debris as you walk across it. This natural material is quick-drying and even features a PVC backing that'll prevent slipping. Plus, it's super easy to maintain. To give it a quick cleaning, all you have to do is run the vacuum over it or shake it out. The best part? It comes with a cotton buffalo plaid rug — use it inside, or place it underneath to make the doormat pop (just keep in mind that the black and white rug is not water-resistant).

A reviewer wrote: "Looks exactly like the photo. It not only looks good, but the mat is durable and keeps dirt from being tracked in the house.”

Dog Gone Smart's Dirty Dog doormat features tiny strands of quick-drying microfiber that'll trap debris and absorb mud as you walk across it. Thanks to its impressive absorption rate of 3,000 grams per square meter (GSM), it's the perfect product for anyone who lives near the beach or other areas prone to dampness (whether dogs live in the house or not). This doormat is made with a nonskid rubber backing that'll prevent extra movement and slippage, too. Not to mention, it's machine-washable, which means you can clean it up after times of heavy usage.

This versatile doormat — which comes in a variety of sizes and colors to complement your space — is a fan favorite on Amazon. It currently boasts 16,000 reviews and an overall 4.7-star rating from users who can't seem to get enough of its amazing functionality.

A reviewer wrote: "I love these rugs. We get a LOT of sand, dirt, mud, and tiny pebbles tracked into the house by the dogs and on our own shoes. Having this mat inside the door really helps. I take it outside and shake it out every couple days during dry weather and it looks brand new. When it gets wet from wet feet or an old dog with a weak bladder having an accident I throw it in right in the wash and then dry on low heat and it's perfect again.”

This unique scrubber mat is the best outdoor door mat for removing both sand and mud. The coir bristles are fitted around cylinders, so you can remove stuck-on mud and sand from the soles of shoes and boots, and the enclosed catch tray below keeps everything inside until you’re ready to empty it and hose it off. The heavy-duty, nonslip base is made from natural rubber, and the whole setup is fully weather-resistant.

A reviewer wrote: “We just bought a home at the beach and needed something to combat the sand from coming into our house. With the small bristles, it takes off the sand from your shoes and feet really well. Then you just shake it out over time. Good purchase.”
